Clients & Testimonials

I had the need for a private jet to carry our owner’s wife to an urgent meeting in New York while we were docked in Aruba. I contacted GMT at midnight and we were wheels up at 0800. Everything went smoothly with very little work for the crew and I. GMT took care of everything. We’ll always use GMT for our air charter requests.

Thank you for the great customer service in getting this resolved… I was clearly frustrated at the time but this episode and the actions of GMT and its employees in resolving the issue quickly and professionally has given me a whole new appreciation for your company. Many Thanks and Kind Regards.

Captain Stefan Czuplak, M/Y SKYLER

It has been so helpful to have the support of GMT Manila from day 1. With all the crew changes we’ve had in the past 18 months, I can hardly imagine how this intricate process could have gone with any marine travel agency other than GMT.

Jun Ikenaga, Orient Line Corp.

I have used your company for many years and recommend you to yacht owners, management companies, and Captain friends. Thank you as always for your amazing teamwork. Best regards,

Captain Gideon Smith, M/Y X

The Apostleship of the Sea of the United States of America has worked with GMT for several years, flying our Cruise Ship Priests to meet their ships. During this time of pandemic their staff was absolutely fabulous and worked quickly to help get each of our priests home. In addition, when we began receiving the e-mails from GMT regarding flights available for crew repatriation, we realized that GMT was working to find a way to make Crew Change HAPPEN!  With so many seafarers around the world stuck onboard, or stuck at home, unable to work, it was heartening to see GMT working hard, rather than throwing up their hands. Thank you GMT for caring for the thousands of seafarers who need crew change. We salute you and support your efforts!

I cannot say enough great things about the service I have received from GMT Cruiselink (Global Marine Travel). Gerda Puente has been extremely fast to respond with good information and assistance whenever I have send her an email. She has also worked hard to get waivers from airlines for refunds when she could have told me “it cannot be done.”

This vendor is truly an outstanding partner that is a prime example of the good things a great vendor and business partner can do. I know there are others that do good work, and I have used them with mixed results. GMT and Gerda have simply stood out in a crowd as if they were a true part of my franchise.

Thanks to the efforts of Global Marine Travel, we were able to send 56 crew members home to the Philippines today through a shared charter flight. It’s been extraordinarily complicated to repatriate crew home due to the closure of ports and travel restrictions, and it’s so important to be able to get these colleagues home.

George Howell, Senior Director of Guest Services, Windstar Cruises

Thank you so very much for getting my son, an established yacht crew member, home. I work for an Australia federal politician and have been dealing with travel exemptions and stranded Australians for months! Currently there are over 27,000 stranded Australians overseas (mainly in Europe) due to COVID. What you have done is extraordinary! I would be more than happy to recommend your agency to our stranded constituents. Again, my heartfelt and deep appreciation for your efforts on my son’s behalf.

Deborah Wiltshire, Electorate Constituent Adviser

You have all been exceptional to get us through these more difficult times with crew movements.
